NFS Mount Hanging During 11g R2 RAC Install on OEL 5.4

Hello, I am trying to create two-node Oracle 11g R2 RAC on OEL 5 Update 4. I am doing so by following the Tim Hall's article at
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnLinuxUsingNFS.php
I have two separate physical machines with OEL 5, and their IP configuration is as follows in /etc/hosts file:
#NAS
192.168.2.101 nas1.localdomain nas1
I have added the following lines to the "/etc/fstab" file.
nas1:/shared_config /u01/shared_config nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
nas1:/shared_grid /u01/app/11.2.0/grid nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
nas1:/shared_home /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
nas1:/shared_data /u01/oradata nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
When I try to mount the NFS share on both servers, it hangs:
mount /u01/shared_config

I am also getting same issue. How did you resolve.?

Domain group validation hangs during ECC 6.0 install on windows server 2008

Hello to the group.
We are installing ECC 6.0 R3 on a windows server 2008 system (with SQL 2008) and the install is hanging in the user/group creation steps. Specifically, the install is able to create a group at the domain level but hangs when it tries to verify that group.
What's funny is the system is able to create two local domain groups without any issues.
Have any of you run into this same issue? We've tried updating sapinst and restarting the install process using a known good domain admin account (we are also creating a ticket to SAP support).
Thanks for any help!
J. Haynes

> This is actually a Domain based install.
ok
> So far after 12 hours the install is still hung. So we are looking at both network and issues with the AD related DLLS.
You can doubleclick on the orange icon (the sapinst backend process) next to the clock on the desktop and scroll down. There you may find a hint why it's taking so long.
Maybe you have a wrong/missing DNS server entry so the server is unable to find the domain controller, maybe the firewall is enabled and blocking asynchronous answers.

Macbook hangs during 10.5.2 install

Hi,
I've got a 2.16 Macbook (mid 2007) that I upgraded to 10.5 using the retail upgrade disk.
The firmware and other software have been updated and all seems fine.
However, I've downloaded 10.5.2 and started to install but keep getting software update telling me it's installing 1 item and it seems to be hanging on the configuring installation page with the blue progress bar about 10% across the screen.
It's been here for hours ?
Any suggestions ?
TIA,
Neil

Solved it after a few hours searching
Downloaded the download combo package using safari and not software update.
Might help someone else.

SqlDev3.0 prod - Conn randomly hangs during opening, mainly with 11g RAC

Hi, i have been having this issue since i moved to 3.0 PROD version from EA version.
Now and then, same connection hangs during opening of connection, mainly with 11gR2 RAC databases. Sometimes it works with no changes. I don't see this problem with 10g RAC or non-RAC connection. Connection does not even make it to listener log file, so it looks like java thread gets into some hitch locally.
I wonder if somebody has found solution for this.
btw, with EA, i did not have problem with same connection. so far, i have been killing the sqldeveloper thru' task manager and then open it again (sometimes couple times, before i get thru').
Thanks

i can not use auto update from tool itself as we dont have admin rights on laptops(update feature is not able to contact download center of Oracle). so we use standalone releases of SQLDeveloper. How can i download this patch and apply it? do you have link to the patch? I did some search, it was not giving me anything useful.
I am using Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34 (From Help->About).

Error while installing Oracle 11g R2 RAC

Hi,
I am getting following error while trying to provide Oracle software locatio.
[INS-20702] Unexpected Internal driver error
Cause - A call to cluster verification utility failed.
Following are the steps i have followed:
1. Using NFS mount created a share mount point between two nodes.
2. Used OCFS2 for OCR
3. Pointed local location at the time of installing Grid infrastructure.
4. After executing rootInventory.sh and root.sh using root user on both nodes i could not able to create any folder in NFS mount and OCR location.
5. Used NFS mount point /u01/app/...etc location for Oracle software location at the time of software installation.
Observed the above error.
Note: Got the same error when tried to give "grid" location at the time of "Grid software" location, so re-directed it to local home. But able to see the same content in the another node aswell.
Please Help me

Cause
Common cause is OS user who is performing the installation doesn't have write access to file in /tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_user folder.
For example, if oracle is the user that's performing installation but couldn't write to file in /tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_oracle, the error will be reported.
Solution
To fix the issue, remove folder /tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_user and try runInstaller again.
For more information, see the Oracle Metalink document: 970166.1

Need 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using containers and NFS

I'm looking for an 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using 2-3 containers. I need to have the NFS server reside in the global zone or on a 3rd container visable to the two rac containers.
Please share me installation guide!
Thank you!
PS - I currently have run into an install issue -
Can't change ownership on /oracle/products/11.2.0/ocr/: not owner at /oracle/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 5014.
I suspect the NFS share params from the NFS server in the global zone are not 100% correct to the two rac zones/containers.

Have you visited Oracle Support Services website (formerly metalink) to determine if your desired configuration is supported?
Last time I looked it was not.
That said Oracle database installation guides are fully documented online.

Windows 7 hangs during install on HP Pavilion a Media Center 1320n

Windows XP Media is currently on machine. I tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. When the computer rebooted the installation would hang during the complete installation. I tried several times and the same thing happened. I reformated the hard drive and tried to install the same OS using a USB flash drive and got the same results. I reformatted again and tried to install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and got the same results. The only OS I can install on this machine is Windows XP. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to install Windows 7.
I upgraded the Bios with version 3.24 before I began the installation.

Another update in case anyone might be having the same problem.. Found out what the problem is.. But still have not resolved it.. I did another fresh install of Win7. Joined the domain and rebooted. When it came back up I checked the network and sharing center. It is showing "Identifying". Start> Run> firewall.cpl . It is showing Public network as my current connection. I unplugged my network cable and plugged it back in. It now shows domain network. Log offs work fine. After reboot it goes back to doing the same thing. I tried with both DHCP and a static IP. Both ways, same problem. So it works fine if the location is set to domain network but not to public (which i guess it automatically puts it in to if it cant identify the network). Sometimes it will go to work network. Logoffs take roughly 30 seconds compared to 8 min. on a public network or 2 seconds on a domain network.
We do have a group policy that disables security center. It will disable the firewall and other features when it is set to domain network. But not for the work or public locations.
The other policy we have in place is for Kerberos. Kerberos is disabled by default in windows 7 but is needed for our SAP to work. When we run a packet sniffer on the machine it is showing a lot of back and forth traffic with our DC and the protocol just shows Kerberos. So my next test is to remove the GPO for Kerberos and see if that makes a difference.
The funny thing is; I have a Precision 380 sitting right aside of it. Running Windows 7, joined to the same domain, connected to the same switch, in the same OU and it doesnt have a problem..

How to know RAC 11g R2 is installed Using Local User or Domain User on Win

We need to identify whether a local User or a domain User is Used to install 11g R2 Clusterware on Windows 2008.
Here is background:
Oracle 11g R2 RAC is configured on 2 windows 2008 servers.
User "oracle" is used to installed that RAC but we dont know whether local "oracle" user or domain "oracle" user is used to install this RAC.
"oracle" user is present in both the servers as a local user as well as a domain user.
Due to security reasons we need to remove this local "oracle" user but without knowing which user is installation user for rac we cant remove as this will disturb whole rac setup.
Please sugest me some solution ......

Right click on any folder from oracle home -> Security (tab) -> Advance -> Owner.
This will show you who owns this folder and that should be the user who did this installation. You may see 2 users where, one will be local administrator and second one will be the user who did installation.

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast. Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.

The stavfs() hangs for stale NFS mount

Hi,
When the remote server from where a NFS file system is mounted is down, we get the stale NFS
mount error.
An application that just reads the entries of /etc/mnttab and does the statvfs() on all the file systems will
hang infinitely. The control is within the statvfs() call. The application goes into a uninterruptible sleep mode. Signals like SIGALARM or SIGPIPE are not handled. Only the signals like SIGTERM, SIGHUP,
SIGKILL are getting handled.
One solution which we considered was to check for the availability of the remote host before calling the
statvfs(). This can be done by sending ICMP packets to the remote host. But this method will not work
on the servers which restricts the ICMP packets (for some security reasons).
Is there any other way to avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Rams.

And again. Since 280 people have looked at my post and not one could help me I assume that there's no solution to my problem?
If that's true I would appreciate it if you tell me, and if there's a solution you know, or if you have any idea how to solve this, please reply.

What does choosing interface as public or private during rac install mean?

What does choosing interface as public or private during rac install mean? You see the option on the OUI screen in the step after adding nodes on which you need the install.

Public: Is the interfacce where the connection to the db is done (user, application server etc).
Private: Used for communication between the nodes in the cluster and is done by the instances. No one should be able to connect via this interface.

Hardware for RAC using NFS mounts

Hi,
At a recent Oracle/NetApp seminar we heard that certain RAC configuration could make use of NFS mounts to access its shared storage, leaving SCSI/Fiber/FC Switches out of the picture.
We're currently looking for a budget cluster configuration that, ideally, is not limited to 2 nodes. The NFS option looks promising, however, our NAS hardware may not be NetApp.
Has anybody used this kind of setup? For example, several cheap x86 blade servers mounting shared storage via NFS in a NAS.
Thanks,
Ivan.

NAS is NFS.
See
Following NFS storage vendors are supported: EMC, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, NetApp, Pillar Data, Sun, Hitachi.
NFS file servers do not require RAC certification. The NFS file server must be supported by the system and storage vendors.
Currently, only NFS protocol version 3 (NFSv3) is supported.

Pl post exact versions of "11g" and "Windows 7" - Home versions are not supported - you will need Professional or higher.
Looks like the "-ignoreSysprereqs" flag was used for the install - is there a reason for this ?

ASM Installation on Oracle 11g Clusterware (RAC) environment

Hi All,
I am trying to setup Oracle 11g Standared Edition RAC+ASM on RedHat Linux 5.0 VM ware box. As part of this RAC setup successfully completed. For this i have used raw devices and mounted using NFS.
In many of forumns i have read that ASM installtion on a cluster envioronmnet is different than non cluster environment.
I dont know how to start ASM installtion on RAC environment. Please share any documents if you have?
Thanks,
Rakesh

will the steps need to be done on two nodes of cluster or it is sufficient on first node.
"raw device" for OCR, VOTE, SPFILE_FOR ASM and ASM DISKGROUPs
before do "raw devices" you have to fdisk(make partitions) on share storages
node1:
# fdisk /dev/sdf
# ls /dev/sdf*
node2:
# ls /dev/sdf*
don't find...,so just fdisk -> l and -> w
fdisk how? http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_fdisk.htm
Example: /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices do it every nodes
#Oracle OCR File +~280M+
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdf1
#Oracle Voting File +~280M+
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdf2
#Oracle ASM spfile ~50M+
/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sdf3
#Oracle ASM DISK Group1
/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/sdg1
#Oracle ASM DISK Group2
/dev/raw/raw5 /dev/sdh1
And oracle user.. can read /dev/raw/raw* You should find on every nodes
http://oraclepitstop.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/raw-devices-on-rhel-5-or-oel-5/
ls -la /dev/raw/raw*
crw-rw---- 1 root oinstall 162, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw1
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 2 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw2
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 3 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw3
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 163, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw4
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 164, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw5
do it on node1 but you have to pass phrase on every nodes Before
http://www.puddingonline.com/~dave/publications/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/document/html/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO-5.html
example:
node01:
$ ssh node01 hostname
node01
$ ssh node02 hostname
node02
- Install + Setup Clusterware:
OCR = /dev/raw/raw1
VOTE = /dev/raw/raw2
- Install Oracle Database for ASM Home
spfile for ASM = /dev/raw/raw3
- after ASM started... create disk groups from /dev/raw/raw4 and /dev/raw/raw5
- Install Oracle Database for RDBMS Home
- Create Database to use ASM diskgroups
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1RACInstallationOnRHEL5UsingVMwareESXAndNFS.php
Did you followed the same procedure to set up Oracle 11g RAC+ASM on RHEL 5.0.I'd done(test 11gRAC) it on RHEL 4 + 11g + ASM(on raw device)
on production, I use ASMlib... + ASM + 10g

RAC Instalation Problem (shared accross all the nodes in the cluster)

All experts
I am trying for installing Oracle 10.2.0 RAC on Redhat 4.7
reff : http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnLinux
All steps successfully completed on all nodes (rac1,rac2) every thing is okey for each node
on single node rac instalation successfull.
when i try to install on two nodes
on specify Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) location showing error
the location /nfsmounta/crs.configuration is not shared accross all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a shared raw partation or cluster file system file that is visible by the same name on all nodes of the cluster.
I create shared disks on all nodes as:
1 First we need to set up some NFS shares. Create shared disks on NAS or a third server if you have one available. Otherwise create the following directories on the RAC1 node.
mkdir /nfssharea
mkdir /nfsshareb
2. Add the following lines to the /etc/exports file. (edit /etc/exports)
/nfssharea *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
/nfsshareb *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
3. Run the following command to export the NFS shares.
chkconfig nfs on
service nfs restart
4. On both RAC1 and RAC2 create some mount points to mount the NFS shares to.
mkdir /nfsmounta
mkdir /nfsmountb
5. Add the following lines to the "/etc/fstab" file. The mount options are suggestions from Kevin Closson.
nas:/nfssharea /nfsmounta nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=300,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
nas:/nfsshareb /nfsmountb nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=300,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
6. Mount the NFS shares on both servers.
mount /mount1
mount /mount2
7. Create the shared CRS Configuration and Voting Disk files.
touch /nfsmounta/crs.configuration
touch /nfsmountb/voting.disk
Please guide me what is wrong

I think you did not really mount it on the second server. what is the output of 'ls /nfsmounta'.
step 6 should be 'mount /nfsmounta', not 'mount 1'. I also don't know if simply creating a zero-size file is sufficient for ocr (i have always used raw devices, not nfs for this)
